HELLo Truth
I saw my friend wearing a shirt that says, "Hello, I'm Awesome!" and it really got me thinking, "No, that is a lie! I am the only one that is awesome!" - I'm kidding of course, because that would be an even BIGGER lie. But seriously, the more I started thinking about this shirt, the more I started realizing how ridiculous it is. I mean what kind of a stupid shirt is that? And I'm sorry if you have one of those shirts, but I'll be honest in love, that this a stupid lie to wear. If I were to ever be Christian T-shirt designer, I would love/pray to one day design or see the T-shirt(V-necks are the way to go though) that says,
Hello, I'm a DAMNABLE SINNER!
now that would be the bold truth that the world and the church needs to see and remember; for we are only damnable sinners saved by GRACE.
All are under sin, no one is righteous, no not one, no one understands, no one seeks for God, all have turned aside, together they have become worthless... for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God!
We need to know and remember [THIS] because
For the wages of sin is DEATH, but the free gift of God is eternal LIFE in Christ Jesus our Lord.
-Romans 6:23
Dear God,
thank you for sending Redemption, I love you. Help me to remember this, Your Gospel, and proclaim this with love and boldness to the world and to the church for Your Glory and the final salvation of the few who by grace find the Narrow Path.
Soli Deo Gloria,
J.P. Fisher
